More from Alan Abel
A woman in Santa Barbara, California, sent a $40,000 check. I fondled it for about five minutes and then sent it back. I told her I couldn’t accept money from strangers.
Alan AbelAlan Abel I look at the newspapers, and I cannot believe most of the stories I read. Bernie Madoff, who actually screwed millions of people for billions of dollars.
Alan AbelAlan Abel It’s just unbelievable what he got away with and how long it took for him to be exposed. A guy like that should be hanged.
Alan AbelAlan Abel Even with clothing naked animals, there were people who wanted to send in money.
Alan AbelAlan Abel My credibility is zero. My wife claims she can go before any judge at any time and have me committed.
Alan AbelAlan Abel We’re a nation of sheep. If you go out and look up at the sky, people around you will start looking up at the sky.

Bram StokerBram Stoker Shh,” I say. “Arms around me.” Obediently, he slips both arms around my waist. I smile at the wall. I am not enjoying this. I am not, not even a little bit, no.
Veronica RothVeronica Roth This music was her-the real plain her…This music did not take a long time or a short time. It did not have anything to do with time going by at all. She sat with her arms around her legs, biting her salty knee very hard.

![Alan Abel Quote - I once recommended [in a San Francisco Chronicle column] that a third arm – a plastic arm – be sewn at the base of the spine so that people could have a tripod to sit on while waiting in line, and it was taken seriously.](https://minimalistquotes.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/i-once-recommended-in-a-san-francisco-chronicle-co.jpg)
